Now people wonder if recent scandals surrounding Facebook finally came home to roost. The numbers: Facebook shed about $100 billion in market value as shares plunged 19 percent on Thursday. That beat Intel’s $91 billion loss in September 2000. The reason: Slowing sales growth. The pain: CEO Mark Zuckerberg lost more than $15 billion in net worth in one day and is no longer among the top five billionaires in the world. Sad.

Immigration officials this week told a judge they were on track to reunify more than 1,600 families, while another 914 families have been deemed ineligible for reunification. Meanwhile, more than 450 parents accused of illegally entering the country may have already been deported without their children, according to court documents.

Battle for the top House spot

Get ready for a potentially contentious battle among Republicans to become House speaker. Ohio Rep.

But what about accusations from several former Ohio State University wrestlers that Jordan knowingly ignored sexual abuse allegations while he was a wrestling coach? Jordan denies he knew anything about that.
